The chassis is otherwise very attractive and sleek for the price with a size and weight advantage against its close competitors.

In addition, fingerprints and grease will accumulate very easily all around the notebook and can be difficult to wipe off. The edge-to-edge glass displa y will also inevitably wobble if using its touchscreen functionality, even if the user is nimble and light on pressure. Notable faults of the case include the outer lid where the center feels thin and susceptible to applied pressure. Visually, the design is comparatively reminiscent of the manufacturer’s successful lineup of ultrathin Zenbook models. The matte, dark gray rubberized underside deserves praise as well for its high-end feel and looks with an overall decent construction quality. Resistance to side-to-side twisting of the lid and base is also very good and much less than expected from a notebook in this price range. In terms of stability, the bar hinge design holds the display fairly firm no matter the angle with minimal wobbling when typing and the aluminum palm rests and center of the keyboard resists pressure reasonably well. Note, however, that its chassis is actually built quite differently from the VivoBook S550CM despite the similarity in name. This is certainly not a negative as it allows the Asus to be both thinner (21.5 mm) and lighter (2.1 kg) than a number of other 15.6-inch touchscreen notebooks like the Aspire V5-571P (25.4 mm, 2.4 kg), Sony Vaio T15 Touch (22.8 mm, 2.23 kg) and Asus’ own VivoBook S550CM (22.0 cm, 2.6 kg). The S500CA continues to use the same silver chassis and brushed dark gray aluminum lid as the smaller S400, S300, and S200.
